The unit is exactly what I was looking for. Instructions were easy to follow, setup was easy and unit is very quiet! Can’t wait to take it to the first football camping/tailgate trip in 3 weeks!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The generator arrived in excellent condition. No dents scratches or any other blemishes noticed. I followed the easy to read & understand instructions, then push the start button and it fired up immediately. Ran it for 45 minutes no problems. I am very happy with the fit and finish of the generator. So far so good.

I love the power

Easy set up and started immediately. I turned on everything I could including 13,500 ac and refrigerator freezer. Didn’t even phase it. With everything running at the same time it showed 50% power usage. Next thing to actually use it out camping. If it continues to perform as it did in the first half hour I couldn’t be happier.

So far my experience with this generator has been mostly great. There are only three things that I've noticed so far.
1. When I first started the generator for the first while it kept shutting off after a minute or two. No idea what caused it and I have not had a problem since even when running it for 10-12 hours to keep my camper cool.
2. The protection system is a little funky sometimes. I get that it is important to have the overload protection in place so this isn't exactly a fault of westinghouse but I feel like it engages a little to often. If my AC cycles on and off to fast the inverter trips. This is a little problematic because I was hoping to trust this system with my dogs in the camper however I don't feel safe doing so.
3. When powering my 14000 BTU portable AC, it's hard to get the AC started. It'll start up just fine and all but I believe the initial draw messes with the compressor when it tries to draw. This doesn't happen with the camper AC. The portable AC will run but the compressor doesn't kick on so it just blows out hot air. Usually just a few minutes of messing around with it I'll eventually be able to get the AC to kick on.
For #2 I can say for now that I have not had my camper AC cycle on and off quick enough to cause this issue. This has only happened when I was playing with the AC and turned it off to test its starting power, turned back off, then turned it back on. This quick cycle trips the breaker. But since it does this I am very afraid that if a really hot day happens that it might cycle to fast and shut off. I just can't trust the system enough to keep my dogs alive in very hot weather. Idk if it'll ever happen but just no lol.
Apparently the auto choke has some issues on some of these models. Idk if I just got a good model or that the issue was resolved. Mine did NOT experience this auto choke issue and even if they do I heard Westinghouse has a fix for it plus its apparently an easy fix to do at home.

I bought this because it was rated to be one of the larger quieter generators and it really is. Easy to set-up and use

Just what I was looking for

Needed a portable generator for our camper and this fits the need. Still in break-in mode but I can say so far I'm impressed. I have only run it on propane, but from what I can tell this will handle our camper a/c unit and more with no problem.
